I have this idea of a MOOP - Maasively Open Online Psychology.
Basically it's - we have these constantly on monitoring devices, phones, watches, alexa, video - we can collect constant human behavioural data - and given the right
regulatory framework (ie this is medical data treat it like that) we should see enormous commonalities (correlations) between millions of people.
Psychology should then become a field of epidemiology- as opposed to limited behavioural studies in lab conditions.
Maybe psychology just has not had enough in the field data?

- lifeisstillgood 6y agoI feel that Asimov's Zeroth Law was always go for the pun. Several short stories I remember were basically just leading up to a bad pun. Coat not required :-)
